As they navigate the often complex terrain of apologetics, Lynn shares her unique testimony of finding God outside the traditional church setting and diving deep into the significance of suffering and discipleship in one's spiritual journey.

In an age where social media often clouds the depth of personal belief, they explore how distractions can distance us from truly understanding God's word.
